Now that Chrysler is owned (well, about to be) by Cerberus, here's our sure-fire way to revive the Jeep brand: Build a low-cost, low-frills JT. We don't mean low-cost as in low ability, just low everything fancy. No leather, make it vinyl. Not power windows, a crank'll do ya. No AC... well, AC. So we're pansy... STFU!

The JT has the chance to be the shining example for the do-it-yourselfer who has a little bit of property to work on, but can't afford no $27,000 pickup truck. That same buyer will be a tinkerer that longs to relive the past they never got to take part in. Chrysler, give us a truck to tinker with and that we can afford. The Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited ain't it.

I've seen a demo of this Jeep JT where it had to get out of a deep ditch like a bathtub. It's really amusing that it had managed to do so. Enhanced jeep parts was incorporated there like its Jeep exhaust- http://www.jpartsonline.com/jeepexhaust.html -It also had a best style so far.

I want the JT so bad I can taste it, and it tastes dirty! I particularly love it in the no-frills get-up. My Jeep Comanche (hit the link!) is getting a little long in the tooth, and I've been waiting for the folks at Jeep to give me another p'up in which to haul the hound. Build it, you three headed dog! Oh yah, and shove a diesel in it...
